We are going to the Manchester signing and will attempt to make ourselves obvious to any fforumites (or ffforumites) present. look out for a space-hopper-shaped man accompanied by a lady with very long chesnut brown hair.

You read it here first. Well, I don't know if you were the first to read it, of course, but it was the first place I put it so the first place that you could have read it, unless I post it somewhere else and you read that post before this one.
Anyway Here was the place that it was first available to read.

How about this: any of us Ffordians who are going to the signing in NYC join together to kidnap Jasper, then drag him to your country and personally deliver him to you? Anyone else up for it?
*raises hand* ooh! Me! Pick me! Oh, we have to be at the NYC signing? Shoot, nevermind, perhaps I can give you my address for when you set up Jasper X-press?
Hi, is it okay if I tag on the end here? My first post and I'd hate to tread on anyone's toes!
I've been a Fforde fan for a while and I was thinking about going to the Swindon launch but I was wondering if anyone knew what was happening there? A friend told me there was going to be more than just the signing going on and that some special event was taking place but I can't seem to find out anything more about it. Anyone else heard about this?

Hi teaandtoast, welcome. If you have lurked here for any time you will know that I am the bearer of pies. Help yourself. Today the savoury pies are at the front, the sweet are to one side.
If you have not yet done so, look at the "Yours Goodbye" thread by Niebla to see something of what may (or may not) be happening in Swindon on Launch Day. I suppose with the number of copies already delivered, that should be "Official Launch Day".
All I know is that if the good lady wife (mrs. SkidMarks) and I could get to Swindon, we would definitely be there. Unfortunately we can't.
P.S. Do not worry about treading on toes. People here are mainly friendly and usually capable of moving their feet out of the danger zone...........

I will be going to the Boston Signing @ Borders on the 27th! I think I will be easy to spot with my NCD and Spec-Ops 27 t-shirt and maybe "something else" for him to sign! =-)
